Co-owner Sheldon Hendry hosted a competition on Pure Bar’s Facebook page, with the 15 most ‘liked’ entrants winning an opportunity to create their own cocktail for the new menu, which is part of the five-year-old Hay Street bar’s relaunch.

A new food menu will be launched in about three weeks.

Mr Cutler was the second small bar licensee in Perth in 2008 and said the concept had been popular, especially in the city, Leederville and Mt Lawley.
